> [Itch.io](http://Itch.io)’s action isn’t likely to stem the tide of AI slop that’s engulfing the world of gaming. Apart from the fact that it represents a very small percentage of a market dominated by Steam, the simple truth is that AI slop is easy to churn out in overwhelming quantities—_ **that’s what makes it so attractive to people who care less about creation than they do about making a few bucks on a lucky swing of the bat.** _ (emphasis mine) ---

Human slop also never was okay. But other than AI releases human slop was the exception, so it did not grow into a problem. We had that one weirdo who released his slop and asked to praise him for it. Other than that I would say that most people at least tried to put some effort into it, even if the result was not good in the usual sense. And at least I had the time to try it out and could value their effort. But with the vast amount of releases I get a time and energy problem. And unfortunately, most AI releases are a waste of my time and (mental) energy. They often look good at first, some are even technologically impressive, but after a few minutes of playing something feels off. Bad sound, bad gameplay, fatal bugs. Slop is not AI itself, AI can produce amazing results, even for our community. It’s slop if the human behind it does not care and just wants to get “its” release out the door. And worst of all - people still spread the information about that slop. Why would anyone spread information about a game that breaks after 3 minutes of gameplay? Honestly I start losing interest in the CPC as the vast majority of announcements is about another AI release - where 9 out 10 releases can’t keep the promise and turn out to be some kind of slop. What’s the point of a hobby that has several “breaking news” every single day - but almost all of them turn out to be “meh” almost every single time? ---

i gotta agree with etos comments… any “AI slop” comes back to the human in the loop and not putting in the effort required to make something good… its not AIs fault one bit… it always comes back the the human in the loop… which brings me to the point i was trying to make weeks ago.. the human is always in control of the end product.. youre all quick to blame AI for everything when its always a person behind it… human slop != AI slop… but human slop creates ai slop! ---

I agree on that, otherwise we would call badly made houses hammer-slop. So, is my game AI generated? no, it is AI-assisted. It’s not like i can say do blah and walk away - it still takes a LOT of effort - the AI has no clue what to do.

if you’re asking yourself that question, it means you already know the answer Gryzor 😊 . Ummm, is humor not allowed on this forum? Or maybe sarcasm/dry humor isn’t welcome. Can we talk about the topic of this thread? Anyway! You can delete my previous post if you don’t like it. Have a good evening, everyone PS: and thanks to the AI that helped you with that reply ---

At least if you tell your employees to make a game, the employees would have actually played the game and probably have some idea of the concept of fun. I don’t mind playing a game made by employees. AI slop is the untested output of a machine that has never experienced fun and doesn’t really understand the difference between a good game and a bad one. You can make good things with AI if you do it properly, but without proper guidance it will generate dehumanised slop. I think the human element is important. I wouldn’t be friends with a chatbot no matter how nicely they talk to me because I know they’re not a real person. And I feel similarly about engaging with a work that was made without an author. ---

Actually many employees don’t give a … about their job - they only whant their pay. Quality isn’t in most of their minds. ---

Whilst that might be true for some, [Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs#/media/File:Maslow's_Hierarchy_of_Needs_Diagram.png) states that creativity is at the top and security (including pay) is towards the bottom of people’s priorities. ---

That may be but they are at least humans who understand the difference between good and bad. So much of the AI slop we’ve seen posted recently hasn’t been playtested by anybody, at all, ever. ---

Yes, and that’s when bad games are created, and get panned. Overgeneralizations don’t work well. ---

I was doubting if I should post here, but OK, my two cents. I’ll try to be nice and polite, but the truth is I wholeheartedly hate Generative AI (not other forms of AI, just LLMs and this kind of stuff) and since the slopocalypse started, I feel I’m going insane almost every day. There are many reasons for the hate, but the main ones are not technical but ethical. It’s a stealing machine built on top of massive copyright violation and license infringement, used to manipulate and deskill people and sell them back what they stole (“intelligence by the meter”, like Sam Altman said). It requires a ridiculous amount of resources to work at a reasonable level (energy, RAM, GPUs, raw materials), is accelerating climate change, driving the economy to collapse (and oh boy guess who is going to pay when the house of cards falls down), making everything in tech more expensive and on top of that, 4 years in, productivity gains are still not that clear (like many studies have shown, [here the last one](https://www.apollo.com/wealth/insights-news/insights/daily-spark/no-signs-of-ai-payoff-outside-the-tech-sector)). Latest incantation of the tech (the so called “agents”) are an extremely wasteful brute force machine and if you could se the “thinking traces”, you would see how fast the illusion of “intelligence” would fade. I find some arguments used by boosters quite dangerous, like the “It’s just a tool”. Sorry but not all tools are the same and some can in fact be quite dangerous. Tools modify the way you think and carry intent. If you use a fork to eat, the fork becomes an extension of yourself, you don’t think in using the fork, just in eating. But how you eat and the kind of dishes you’ll prepare are different than if you use chopsticks. The fork example might be innocuous but now think about a gun. Is a gun “just a tool”? A gun affects how the wielder thinks. And I would say most of the times for the worse. Of course the same happens with this “just a tool” generative AI. It has been shown many times that it can degrade your mental health causing this “AI psychosis” in the extreme cases, but that even very light chatbot usage has a toll: [you become dependent on the tool and desist when you face a difficult problem](https://news.berkeley.edu/2026/10/09/using-ai-for-just-10-minutes-erodes-your-ability-to-persist-at-hard-things/). Maybe one day Sam Altman will cure cancer, the tech will lead as to infinite wealth and I will realize how fool I was. But right now what I see is this stealing machine is being used to create tons of low quality stuff, most of it maybe nice to make a YouTube video but that nobody wants and will be forgotten tomorrow. And at what price. And I don’t mean whatever you pay for your slop subscription, but the real environmental, economical and societal cost of the tech (that we all are paying, including me that don’t use it). So yeah, I resist Generative AI made content as much as I can. Sorry but it’s made using an unethical tool and until this changes the only ethical choice is rejection.
